I would love to see Loreena explore the rich musical landscape of Eastern Europe on her next recording. The blend of Slavic love songs and medieval folklore, gypsy/roma ballads and dances, and the music of the jewish culture that has been there for...

Is there a way to include liner notes in the albums, for those of us who would like the full lyrics? I noticed Wind that Shakes the Barely didn't have those, and I'm hearing impaired, so I use the liner notes to decipher lyrics, and I appreciate the portability of it. Thanks!

Hello everyone, or, should I rather ask: Is there anyone out there? I've been absent from the message board for a few years, life just happened this way. And now that I am back I find this forum completely empty... All tumbleweeds and dust, only masses of spam posts popping up every time I check back. That's so sad. Where are you? Have you moved on? Will you be coming back? Any new faces here? And, most of all, why is nobody stopping the flood of spam topics?! I seriously thing that this...

If I were able to request future formats for your music I would desire every future album to be in a DVD CD format like Nights from the Alhambra. It is a little more expensive but thousands of your fans cannot afford to travel to see you live, and we...

I was wondering if the title of the first song is mislabeled. The reason being that the second songs' first verse is "As I roved out on a bright May morning." And the first two songs are listed as 1. "as I roved out," and 2. "on a bright may morning."

Hi, I came across Loreena's music while wandering somewhere in Cyprus, where i found a small shop selling souvenirs from India. Didnt buy anything. Left the shop, walked about 100 metres when i felt i needed to go back. Yes. I managed to convince the shopkeeper to sell me his cd :)Mask and Mirror. I got married in 2001 our wedding song was Loreenas "Full Circle". Everybody cried.. such a powerful song... And still in 2016 after many years have passed, after being divorced :(, i get very...

Hello LM Team, Question: I just wrote some song lyrics and showed them to my partner Anne.Lovis who immediately said: "Send them to Loreena Mckennitt." All my stuff is open code, copyleft, Creative Commons BYSA 4.0 International licensed. Is there any way that I could send these lyrics to you guys to play around with to do whatever you want with? I am simply following the instinctive impulse of a woman... Sending best wishes, Clinton Callahan

Hello! A number of years ago, i walked into a music shop in the Lake District ( united kingdom) and was stopped in my tracks when i heard LM's music being played. It truly hit a chord with me ( no pun intended) i was transfixed with such a beautiful...

Hi, everyone! I was looking at the online shop at Loreena's sheet music, and I was wondering which pieces are geared toward piano and/or harp. I can only partly tell what it says on the product image, but I can't seem to get an accurate description of the instruments (ex. piano, vocal, etc.) for which the arrangements are written. I'm re-learning the piano, and I'm finally learning to play the harp that's been sitting in my room for seven years; I would really like to learn the songs that I...

i am very disappointed I am not able to preorder the Chicago tickets for the 14 th of Oct. I am a member and received the pre sale email, but it is saying the password provided for pre sale is invalid. Lorena doesn't come to Chgo. very often.

I've just received the latest quinlan road newsletter, where they ask us what we think about vinyl releases and things about that. I open this topic so we can collect them all here. I'm very interested about vinyl releases, I'm a collector but I still love to listen to music on vinyl. I use to buy them on the net or in some of the very few stores close to my town where they still sell them. To be completely honest, I'm not very interested about the lastest vinyl relase, I would be more...

I was reading a review of this album and discovered Ms Loreena had gone into retirement after the passing of her fiance and that this was her first CD produced after several years. Was sorry to hear that, I know the feeling of loss I have experienced...

I think Loreena could also explore the musical heritage of North America. We have such an expansive blend of musical styles here: country/western, appalachian/bluegrass, French (both Quebecoise and Cajun), Mexican/Norteno of the southwest US. Not to...
